Japan affirms full support to Anura’s administration

The Japanese Ambassador to Sri Lanka, MIZUKOSHI Hideaki, affirmed that the Japanese government is committed to fully supporting efforts to combat corruption and irregularities, a key priority of Hon. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake’s administration. He expressed readiness to continue close collaboration with Sri Lanka.
Ambassador Mizukoshi made these remarks yesterday (26) at the Presidential Secretariat during a meeting with the Secretary to the President, Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake.
He further announced that work on 11 stalled projects funded by the Japanese government will resume promptly.
These projects include the Kandy City Water Management Project, Phase II of the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) Development Project, the Terrestrial Television Broadcast Digitization Project, the National Transmission and Distribution Network Development Project, Phase II of the Anuradhapura North Water Supply Project, the Rural Infrastructure Development Project, the Kalu Ganga Water Supply Project, and improvements to health and medical services.
Some projects, including the Kandy City Water Management Project and the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) Development Project, were stalled due to corruption and bribery moves by certain heads in the previous government.
The meeting was attended by Deputy Head of the Embassy of Japan in Sri Lanka Nayoki Kamoshida, First Secretary of the Embassy of Japan Ohashi Kenji and Senior Additional Secretary to the President Roshan Gamage.
